Tryfan is 915 metres (3002 feet) high, the eleventh highest mountain in Wales.]] Snowdonia is a region of north Wales and a Snowdonia National Park, of area 2170 square kilometres (838 square miles). It was the first to be designated of the three List of national parks of England and Wales, in 1951. The area is renowned for its spectacular mountainous scenery and is popular with tourists. The English name for the area derives from Snowdon, which is the highest mountain in Wales at 1085 metres (3560 feet). In Welsh, the area is named ''Eryri'' (from ''eryr'' meaning "eagle"). ==Mountain Ranges in Snowdonia== Snowdonia may be divided into four areas. The northernmost area is the most popular with tourists, and includes (west to east): Moel Hebog, Mynydd Mawr and the Nantlle Ridge; the Snowdon massif; the Glyderau, and the Carneddau. These last three groups are the highest mountains in Wales, and include all Wales' 3000-foot mountains. The second area includes peaks such as Moel Siabod, Cnicht the Moelwynion, and the mountains around Blaenau Ffestiniog (a slate-quarrying town deemed unsuitable for inclusion in the National Park). The third area includes the Rhinogydd in the west as well as the Arenigs and the Migneint (this last being an area of bog, not a mountain). This area is not so popular with tourists, due to its remoteness. The southernmost area includes Cadair Idris, the Tarren range, and the Aran group, including Aran Fawddwy, the highest mountain in the United Kingdom south of Snowdon. == External links == * [http://www.eryri-npa.co.uk/ Snowdonia National Park Authority] * [http://www.snowdonia-society.org.uk/ Snowdonia Society] * [http://www.snowdonia-active.com Snowdonia-active.com] * [http://www.snowdonia-adventures.co.uk Adventure activities through out Snowdonia] Geology of the United Kingdom Geography of Wales Mountains and hills of Snowdonia
The name ''Yr Wyddfa'' is mentioned in Snowdon article, but it is confusing to mention it here while saying that the area is named after Snowdon because that's not true in Welsh. Deleted ''Yr Wyddfa'' and added ''Eryri''. ----- Shouldn't this be merged with Snowdonia National Park? There seems to be only a very minimal difference in the areas. User:Morwen - User_talk:Morwen 15:35, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC) :Yeah. Is there actually a difference? Snowdonia ''is'' the national park right? or do they represent slightly different areas? Did the name Snowdonia exist before the national park was declared? Anyone know? -- User:Nojer2 08:47, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC) They Should be merged because it would mean less digging around and being able to use the whole lot offline not just one part ---- Hiya. I've got a picture at :Image:Bristly_ridge_in_winter.jpg if that's any use to this, or similar articles. User:Ojw 00:07, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC) :Sorry to be a "wet blanket" but we really need colour pics of a National Park and yours is black and white. Others may be happy with black and white, but I'm sure colour pics will come along soon enough. Cheers! - User:Arpingstone 09:47, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
